We circumvented this (IL) Sept 1st policy by going private. The local Catholic school was willing to meet our children after my second call plea. In our state, after successfully completion of first grade at a private school, a student must be placed sequentially upon returning to the public system.
Note; it seems to be only a state �policy� as I know of at least two very well connected exceptions.
I also know of a few exceptions in N. IL where it seems they simply had better informed administrators and/ or school boards.
